    • Enhancement of bio-methane production by lignocellulose substrates 

      Mliswa, Vuyo; Marx, Sanette; Chiyanzu, Idan (ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)
      In this study, water hyacinth, sweet sorghum bagasse and amaranth stems were used in a pig manure matrix to produce biogas with a high methane content. The anaerobic digestion was monitored over a period of 40 days, after ...

    • Ultrasonic assisted amaranth stem pretreatment for bio-ethanol production 

      Chiyanzu, Idan; Mditshwa, Amanda; Marx, Sanette (ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)
      An investigation was undertaken to determine the effect of ultrasound on enzymatic hydrolysis rate and enhanced bioethanol yields. Compositional analysis of the feedstock reveals that amaranth lignocellulose contains 36.35% ...

    • Ultrasonic-assisted lignocellulose pretreatment of amaranth stem for bioethanol production 

      Mbelwana, Amanda (North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)
      The depletion of fossil fuels, increasing energy demands in the world, and the effects associated with global warming has led to a search for alternative energy forms that are renewable such as bioethanol. Bioethanol ...

    • Use of amaranth as feedstock for bio-ethanol production 

      Xaba, Nqobile (2014)
      The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and global warming are the two main factors contributing to the current demand in clean and renewable energy resources. Biofuels are renewable energy resources and have an advantage ...
